October 5-9 brought heavy ETF outflows

The Bitcoin Foundation reported that US spot Bitcoin funds lost 678.9 million USD across the five-day period. The report, citing Farside Investors, listed outflows of 89.8 million USD on October 5, inflows of 118.8 million USD on October 6, and withdrawals of 484.9 million USD on October 7. Another 244.1 million USD left the funds on October 8, while October 9 produced an inflow of 21.1 million USD, according to Bitcoin Foundation.

The figures describe net creations and redemptions in spot exchange-traded funds, rather than every purchase or sale of fund shares. For Bitcoin holders, the data distinguish fund-level capital flows from activity on the underlying network, where transactions are recorded on a public blockchain.
